Not saying that trap17 isn't good but the cpanel is outdated, maybe time for an update? I mean, not only does the new cpanel look better, better user-friendly GUI but also that it is safer to use.
So opaque? BuffaloHELP? cPanel update? |

No the cpanel is updated just not the skin because of how expensive they are and the last time the cpanel was giving a new skin people where having account problems. Last I know the current version of Cpanel is version 11 and so cpanel is updated just not the skin; which I don't think is really important when trying to set up your website.

Further to Saint Michael's reply, each Member can select to alter the skin on their Cpanel. These is a selection of choices for both color and format. I prefer the 'light' skins rather than all of the Image based ones. Runs a little quicker. Easier on the bandwidth and cycle times.

I don't mind the cpanel, i actually prefer it to newer versions and I can find where everything is pretty easily, and usually upload my files via FTP
 Plus the new look doesnt really do much, and if the cpanel itself is new, then getting the newest theme is a waste of money and takes away from the admins spending funds on where it really benefits the community. Just my 2 cents A200 |

no, the reason I asked for a cPanel update was because of this... In the trap17 cPanel in the "cpanel version" box it says this...
11.8.0-RELEASE-16253 but if I go to www.cpanel.com and try out their demo... it says... 11.18.1-DEMO note how it says 11.18.1 and the trap17 one says 11.8.0... that is why... But if I am wrong because the cpanel in the demo was made specially for the demo, then sorry admins/mods... |

I remember when they updated the Cpanel last time. Nearly everyone had some sort of problem with it. There's no need to update, I like it how it is. Nice and simple, no need to complicate stuff.

I'm pretty satisfied with cPanel as it is right now. Pretty easy to navigate through and user-friendly, while still giving advanced users the options they need if they choose to use them. Also, Fantastico is a godsend.

Ah yes I remember that little fiasco and that had to do with Cpanel X, but now that csp clarified his topic, same answer somewhat applies but with a twist. In order to to update any software such as Cpanel you have to test it out and see if there are any conflicts, such as the update from 9 to 10 when people couldn't access their accounts. Of course it also depends on what kind of updates cpanel has as well, and if it is not security related you usually don't want to update it anyways because you need to give about 4-6 month for possible bugs to fix when the update goes into it's final version.
